This is Matrix movie star Keanu Reeves. He was abandoned by his father at the age of 3 and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment and likes wandering around town and often seen riding a subway in NYC.
When he was filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard the conversation of two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account. In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997, some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
In life, sometimes the ones most broken from inside are the ones most willing to help others.
This man could buy everything, and instead, every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought:
To be a caring person.
Simple Acts of Kindness
Can we have a round of applause to Mercedes development in 2022? From more than a second off in race 1, to overtaking the fastest car on merit on the penultimate race. Superb stuff @MercedesAMGF1 👏
David Beckham, in a single day you have demonstrated to all the “different rule for us” rich and famous what equality and decency are all about. Shame on all those who used their fame/status to skip the queue. #davidbeckham#queue#QueueWatch#QueenElizabeth#TheQueue
This is Anastasiia Yalanskaya 🇺🇦
She was killed yesterday, just outside Kyiv, delivering supplies to a dog shelter that was without food for 3 days
The car she was in was targeted at close range
Yalanskaya stayed behind in Kyiv to volunteer as everyone fled around her
I believe MPs getting a £2,200 pay rise is wrong and have pledged to donate mine to good causes in Coventry.
I will give 50% of it to Coventry Foodbank.
I will give the other 50% to charities in Coventry supporting refugees, to help Ukrainians and all those fleeing brutal war.
@F1 It’s clearly visible here how close max pushed Lewis towards the wall , making him then have to adjust his line before taking the corner and thus missing the apex. Max made the corner so tight for Lewis and that caused the under steer but I feel it’s a lap 1 racing incident.
